This is a phenomenal story
Very fortunate to have such great interest in horology. My family’s heirlooms consisted of quartz Seikos and Russian watches. I’m sure we both wear our heirlooms with lots of appreciation, though!
Superb photos. I must say that I deeply miss the Geophysic line!
In the meantime, here is my only one... ...
A vintage crosshair dial?!
My understanding is that these are incredibly rare, relative to the high number of crosshair pieces in the 2014 reissue. Is that correct? Either way, I love how the hands on yours have aged to a rich orange hue.
